This five-day set of short courses will be devoted
to X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS/ESCA) and the processing of XPS
spectra.

The first 3 days will be on X-ray
Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS/ESCA) including Data Processing. It will cover
in detail the principles of XPS, instrumentation, imaging, qualitative and
quantitative analysis, artifacts in spectra, and depth profiling (see the
course description). Examples of Data Processing will be given throughout the
course and will illustrate results of processing with many different software programs,
including PHI Multipak, Service Physics ESCA 2007, QUASES Tougaard,
and CasaXPS. This 3 day course is not designed to teach users how to use these
software programs, but to illustrate their applications to various aspects of
processing XPS/ESCA data. See the next paragraph for the 2-day CasaXPS training
course.

The last 2 days will be hands-on training
with the powerful CasaXPS software for the processing of XPS/ESCA data from
practically any XPS instrument (see the course description). A complete trial
copy of CasaXPS and appropriate XPS/ESCA data will be provided to attendees so
they can follow the examples on their own laptops. Attendees are encouraged to
bring their laptops to the course for a hands-on experience. The software runs
in a Microsoft Windows™ environment.

These courses are designed for scientists,
engineers, technicians, and students, who would like a detailed understanding
of the principles and uses of XPS/ESCA and Data Processing for surface analysis
and depth profiling. The two courses can be taken as a 5-day package or
individually.

26 February – 2 March 2018, Tampa,
Florida

A Comprehensive Set of Short
Courses on XPS/ESCA and Data Processing, including CasaXPS Training, 5-days

The courses are being taught by John T. Grant, who has
over 40 years experience in surface analysis, and who has been teaching such courses
for many years. He had been a Distinguished Research Scientist at the
University of Dayton for over 30 years. He is now a consultant in surface
analysis. He is co-editor of the book: Surface Analysis by Auger and X-ray
Photoelectron Spectroscopy.
